The Problem
You are a researcher on the enterprise. Your team has discovered a world that might be fit for human colonization. Your task is to identify and categorize the food sources found on this planet, and determine if the food is compatible with food found on Earth.
Lesson B
After investigating the plant based material you discovered an element chemically bonded repeatedly to other elements. This unknown element has 4 valence electrons and appears in group 14 on the periodic table. Identify the structure of biological molecules found on earth to be able to compare them to the samples collected.
Objective: Students will be able to identify the types of biological macromolecules and their structures
